Women flexing consumption muscle
Consumers check out figures at a Pop Mart store in Wuhan, Hubei province, on May 4, 2025. [Photo/VCG] Chinese women are emerging as an increasingly powerful and independent consumer demographic, with a rising preference for emotional value, self-care and collectible trends such as Pop Mart's Labubu, according to a survey. Among this year's most notable findings, 33.1 percent of women bought collectible dolls or figurines over the past year, including trendy items from brands like Pop Mart and Jellycat, reflecting a growing trend of "cute consumption". Some 5.8 percent of women purchased more than 10 figurines within a year. The "618 Women's Consumption Survey", jointly published by Women of China Magazine, Huakun Women's Life Survey Center and Huakun Women's Consumption Center, offers a close-up look at women's spending habits during the 618 festival and over the past year. Women exhibited rational spending behaviour, with 60 percent comparing prices across multiple platforms before placing orders. The most popular e-commerce platform was Taobao, used by 59.5 percent of respondents, followed by (36.4 percent), Douyin (32.2 percent), Pinduoduo (21.5 percent) and Meituan (10.7 percent). The survey underscores women's growing influence, not just as consumers, but as household financial decision-makers. A staggering 96.7 percent of all women surveyed manage their own finances. Among married respondents, 40.8 percent of women are in charge of overall family finances, 55.1 percent of women manage their own finances separately from their spouses, and only 4.1 percent of families have their spouse or partner taking overall responsibility for financial management. The ratio is higher than the average global level. According to data in 2023 by Euromonitor International, women head more than 42 percent of households in developed countries. Globally, 28.5 percent of households are headed by women. In the survey, children remain the top spending priority, with 50 percent of women citing them as the biggest expenditure category, followed by self-pleasure (43.3 percent), parents and even pets (2.5 percent) — which ranked higher than spending on partners or lovers. "The purchasing power of Chinese women is extraordinary," said Jason Yu, general manager of CTR Market Research. Their shopping habits extend well beyond cosmetics and personal care. They are pivotal in managing their families' purchases, catering to the needs of the elderly and children alike." Yu said women in China are often the ultimate decision-makers in a range of categories, from household goods to travel and entertainment. In the rapidly growing sectors of emotional consumption, such as blind boxes and the guzi economy — derivative products based on intellectual properties in comics, games and novels — women account for the majority of sales revenue, Yu added. On the lack of spending on women's partners shown in the survey, Yu said it could also mean that men make their own decisions on what they are willing to buy. With the rise of single-person households and smaller families, the self-pleasing economy among women is a trend that warrants deeper exploration and understanding. According to this survey, in the past year, 57.9 percent of women invested in self-growth, while 82.5 percent made health-related purchases outside of medical costs. - China Daily/ANN

Tourism dip fuels worst stock drop in Asia
Growing concerns: Travellers take photographs of planes from an observation deck at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport. Thailand's airport authority is grappling with shrinking duty free sales, fuelled largely by dwindling numbers of Chinese travellers. — Reuters BANGKOK: Thailand's post-Covid flood of tourists has turned into more of a trickle, adding to concerns for Airports of Thailand Pcl (AoT) as it grapples with shrinking duty free sales without a full-time chief executive officer. Its shares have more than halved this year, notching the steepest loss among any of the world's airport operators worth at least US$100mil, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The tumble wiped out about 460.7 billion baht or about US$14.18bil of AoT's market capitalisation and made the stock the biggest loser on the MSCI Asia Pacific Index. The sell-off for what was once the world's most valuable airport operator is playing out as safety concerns rattle Thailand's tourism industry. Chinese travellers, key spenders at duty free shops and a major source of travel revenue, have turned away from the South-East Asian nation after the viral kidnapping of a Chinese actor in January stoked worries about security. 'Falling Chinese tourist arrivals and spending, driven mainly by safety fears, threaten to further reduce revenue from duty free shops and other commercial properties,' said Denise Wong, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence. 'A failure to adopt effective measures to reinvigorate Chinese demand will likely mean the current downtrend persists.' The government plans to trim its target of 37.5 million international visitors for this year after a 30% slump in Chinese tourists in the first four months, Teerasil Tapen, deputy governor of Tourism Authority of Thailand, said in May. Foreign tourist arrivals last month fell 13% from a year earlier, led by a drop in Chinese visitors. The dour outlook has clouded the so-called The White Lotus effect – a temporary boost in Western visitors inspired by the latest Koh Samui-set season of HBO's hit show. It also adds to economic risks for the country, where global tariffs and weak consumption have ravaged local equities. The nation's key benchmark stock index has slid about 20% this year, lagging most global peers. Still, the downturn in Chinese tourists will likely rebound in the second half of this year as the Thai government steps up efforts to lure those travellers again, according to Boonyakorn Amornsank, an analyst at Maybank Securities (Thailand) Pcl. In the meantime, the lack of Chinese arrivals is weighing on duty free sales. AoT reported a 13% decline in March quarter net income, mostly driven by a decrease in revenue sharing from duty-free shops and other commercial areas, the company said. Thailand's largest duty free shop operator King Power has asked AoT to cancel concessions at five airports, citing dwindling Chinese visitors as the main reason. The company's board will hire two external advisers to review the request from King Power, whose concessions contribute about 17% of AoT's total revenue, acting president Paweena Jariyathitipong said. The firm is searching for a new leader after former chief executive Kerati Kijmanawat quit in late April. At least four research houses have lowered their ratings on the stock since King Power made the concession plea last week, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That follows at least three downgrades made last month after AoT's quarterly results. — Bloomberg

Work on KB Sentral project to begin next month
KOTA BARU: Work on the RM64 million Kota Baru Integrated Bus Terminal project, also known as KB Sentral, is expected to begin next month. This was announced by state Public Works, Water Infrastructure and Rural Development Committee deputy chairman Saizol Ismail today (June 24). He said the state government had appointed China Communications Construction Company Ltd (CCCC) as the main contractor for the project. "The state government has agreed to appoint the Chinese contractor, which is also involved in the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project. "We awarded the contract to the company last week," he told reporters after visiting the Kampung Madani project site in Kampung Kota today (June 24). He said the project would begin with land treatment works in the middle of next month. "The land treatment phase will take about a year, after which the main construction works will commence. We expect the entire project to be completed before the Malaysia Games (Sukma) in 2028," he added. In March this year, Kelantan Deputy Menteri Besar Datuk Dr Mohamed Fadzli Hassan said the state government has decided to take over construction after negotiations with Perak Transit failed to reach an agreement. He said the decision was made considering time constraints in completing the project. He added that the state wanted KB Sentral to be ready alongside the ECRL project as both needed to operate together. He also said the state government planned to add a few new features to the project. Earlier reports said Kelantan had told Perak Transit to decide whether to go ahead with the project under the set conditions or hand it back to the state government. One of the main conditions was appointing CCCC as the main contractor, as the company had a strong track record with the ECRL project.
